summary
Octopus Cloud runs 1,800 customer instances across 8 K8s clusters in three regions (US, Europe, Australia), with each customer as a tenant receiving a container in AKS plus a dedicated namespace, AKS + dedicated Azure SQL and file share so connection strings and data are isolated. Deployments use a single process with tenant variables and tags, rolling across all tenants within 48 hours and taking 2–5 minutes per tenant. Real-world scale examples: customers with 5,000 tenants, 4,000 deployments in a day, deployments to 16,000 VMs, and one client deploying 600 Kubernetes clusters.
